Know-how and service

High-performance
industrial coatings
Whether in the form of pre- or post-
coatings, our industrial coatings
give surfaces protection, colour
and gloss. We go ahead in our work
to make these coatings even more
effective and attractive – using
innovations which represent a global
benchmark for quality and eco-
efficiency.
Steel and aluminium coils are
coated with our pre-coatings
before being processed further.
They are used particularly in the
construction, appliance and
automotive industries.
Our post-coatings are used for a
very wide range of industrial
applications – coatings for the
appliance industry, corrosion
protection in shipbuilding and on
land and wind turbine coatings
are just a few examples.
Superior coil coatings
Coil-coated sheet metal is tough,
easy to process and highly versatile
in its applications. For this reason
these materials are in high demand,
particularly in the construction
industry, for example for façade and
roof elements made of steel or
aluminium. Coil-coated metal is also
indispensable for the manufacture of
household products such as lights
and white and brown goods.
Our coating products are not only
used for the optimum surface
protection they offer. The colours
and special effects made possible
by BASF Coatings products also
enable architects to create new
impacts repeatedly: building colours
matching the company logo, metallic
effects for spectacular architecture
and reflective colour pigments
which keep metal roofs cool, even
in summer.
especially for the
construction industry
BASF’s Construction Network Team
(CNT) brings together the company’s
comprehensive expertise in the
construction sector in a unique way.
To ensure a sustainable increase in
the value of building projects, our
coil coating experts collaborate with
BASF R&D, sales and management
specialists on individual product and
service solutions along the entire
value-added chain within the
construction industry.
In the Construction Network Team,
all the staff from the various
divisions of the BASF Group work
closely together – with the interests
of the respective customers as their
constant focus. The synergy effects
arising from this pooling of expertise
and market knowledge emphasise
the BASF Coatings philosophy:
offering customers genuine added
value in efficient and productive
partnerships.

Paint technologies
Reliable benefits

Different paint technologies are used in the coil coating process. Which one is selected depends on the downstream
processes and on the properties required later in the end product. The coating for façade elements, for instance, should
be especially durable and weather-resistant. Washing machine housings, on the other hand, require a surface which will
reliably protect the machines against detergents throughout their lifetime. In most cases, the paints used contain polyester
binders. When more specialised or particularly challenging requirements are to be met, polyurethane, PVC and PVDF
binders are used.

Cost-effective solutions:
Polyester coatings
On the one hand, paints manufactured
on the basis of polyester binders can
be resilient – which is ideal for mould-
ing processes. On the other hand, they
can be formulated such that they are
very hard and tough. Thanks to their
balance of surface properties, such as
resilience and scratch resistance, and
their high cost effectiveness, polyester
coatings are the material of choice
for a wide range of applications in the
construction industry.
High-quality all-rounders:
Polyurethane (PU)
coatings
PU coatings are particularly effective
paint systems in which polyurethane
or polyester resins are used and
cross-linked with isocyanates. Com-
pared with polyester coatings, this
approach improves important material
properties such as durability, adhesion
and resilience. However, these benefits
also entail higher material costs. Due
to their excellent surface properties,
PU coatings are outstandingly suitable
for household appliances, but also for
textured surfaces, such as on roller
shutters, gutters and façades.
Extremely resistant:
Plastisols
Coatings based on PVC dispersions
are extremely resistant and durable.
Whereas polyester and PU coatings
have film thicknesses of between
15 and 30 µm, PVC coatings with their

Coil coatings
for white goods
Domestic appliances such as washing machines, driers, fridges, microwaves and dishwashers are
still termed “white goods” even though they have long since been available in colours other than a
neutral white. Today these appliances can be found in households in a wide variety of looks – from
very elegant stainless steel to metallic effects and on to colourfully glossy or textured surfaces.

Household harmony Steel producers and appliance manufacturers use coil-coated sheets to manufacture this variety
of surfaces economically. Especially to this end, BASF Coatings develops high-performance paint
systems which combine modern designs, robust surfaces and efficient production.

Customised performance

The wide spectrum of products manufactured from steel or aluminium sheets requires extremely
flexible coating solutions. We carry a range of high-performance special products for our customers’
sometimes very individual specification profiles:

CLEARCERAM® are clears which are used for a wide variety of applications to produce smooth or
textured surfaces.

COILBACK® backcoats offer reliable protection against corrosion and functionality on those surface
elements which are not in the foreground visually on the finished product. They ensure adhesion of
foams which are used, for example, in the construction industry as insulation. They can also be used
with a range of adhesives, for example for bonding insulating material to the reverse. The backcoats
also help reduce tool wear in subsequent operations, such as profiling, stamping and deep-drawing.

FLEXCERAM® P is a topcoat specially designed for lighting. It has been formulated to be highly
resilient, heat-resistant and glossy. It can be processed in both a 2-coat and a 1-coat (without primer)
process.

SPECCOAT® is the name of BASF products for special requirements. They are used to coat packaging
bands, brown goods, whiteboards and air-conditioning units.

Our service concept

Offer more – achieve more

We offer our customers far more than high-quality paint products. Additionally, BASF Coatings is far more than a
paint manufacturer: as a genuine partner, we support you and your business with a wide range of services related
to coatings and coating technology – leaving you free to concentrate on your core business as a coater.

Our Paint Management concept extends from just-in-time supplies to a small-scale paint factory on the customer’s
premises. We are also happy to share our know-how directly with our customers – in workshops, at conferences or
in individual consultation.

Your small-scale paint factory:

At your service:
BASF Paint Management
We have been assisting our custom-
ers to achieve lasting cost savings
through the BASF Paint Management
concept since the mid-1990s. On
request, we handle transport, storage
and scheduling of paint products
right up to just-in-time supplies. We
produce paints in exactly the right
colour and viscosity and test the paint
and film properties on the customer’s
premises. We also take responsibility
for the correct treatment or disposal
of solvents and paint residues. Each
individual service element of the
modular Paint Management concept
is precisely matched to your wishes
and requirements – to ensure that you
enjoy the greatest possible benefit.
PEVICOAT ®
At the heart of the BASF Paint Man-
agement concept is PEVICOAT ®, the
small-scale paint factory positioned
near your coating line. The computer-
assisted mixing system can mix any
colour and gloss level within a very
short time – and supply the exact
quantity of precisely reproduced ma-
terial. This allows coaters to respond
quickly and flexibly to the wishes of
their customers or to technical
necessities, while saving costs at the
same time.
Benefits of PEVICOAT® at a glance:
Better customer service thanks to
shorter response times
Accelerated production workflows
Optimised production planning
as a result of the ability to respond
more flexibly to requests for
changes
Shorter downtimes for the coil
coating line because paint re-
sources and know-how are directly
available on the line
Reduced costs because there is no
longer a requirement to hold stock
and no minimum purchase quanti-
ties have to be met
Less dependence on suppliers
For customers:
Individual workshops
The introduction of new coating
products or the integration of these
products in a company’s operations
often raises a number of queries on
the customer’s part. BASF Coatings
is happy to assist you and your staff
with detailed information material and
specialist presentations which are
individually compiled in response to
your queries and needs in the form of
a customer workshop.
By experts:
Technical consultation
BASF Coatings’ technicians are
acknowledged experts in coating
lines. On request they will gladly
provide on site advice on issues such
as line configuration, applications
and line speed – and will also help
with troubleshooting. They are happy
to provide assistance to steel and
aluminium producers installing a coil
coating line for the first time or
expanding an existing one. Our
technicians will also draft individual
solutions in joint innovation meetings
and development talks with our
customers.
